What's the meaning of Sōji?
掃除 - Sōji = Cleaning
Sōji is a ritual reminding us that we are no better, or worse, than any other martial art practitioner in the dojo. Each student should respect their fellow student for where they are in their personal journey, each student should respect instructors and the direction they provide, and each student should respect the dojo where they train.
In Japan, sōji is taken seriously and is very much a part of life's teachings. The following bits are from Japanese articles, which emphasize the tradition of sōji, or sōjido, as some may call it and other important aspects of having a clean environment.
